Dear keliy, Thank you for your input. Much appreciated. Concerning the "ruling", I refer to v3:16b "...Yet your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you." God said this after they ate the forbidden fruit not before. If this does not render the idea of ruling power, how should we interpret this verse. Or should it be understood together with preceding one that the desire and love of the woman for her husband naturally posits the ruling power from the man over her? By the way, your point about God's relationship with the first-born (first animals and Adam) is helpful. Thanks. Shalom Azure P.S. Just to clarify, I am NOT a feminist :-) |

Thank you, Azure. No, I never pictured you as a feminist. (0: I guess what I was trying to say, was that your choice of words "ruling power" somehow rubbed me wrong. I guess you are right in the rule sense, but it is not with power that Adam possessed in himself, but he was to rule through the power that he received from God. Does this make more sense? We can relate this to king Solomon, who was offered anything he could possibly desire by God. Yet the one thing he asked for was the wisdom to rule God's people. -I think that was a request containing much wisdom, don't you? (o; joyful blessings, keliy |

Now, I see your point though it seemed a bit side-tracked from my intended question. No, I am not advocating that Adam possessed that power in him. I agree completely that all powers are originated from God, nothing else. Thanks again for the nice discussion:-) Shalom Azure |
